Use Your Powerline Adapter
2 2 Extend Your Wired Network by Plug & Play
I want to:
Use two powerline adapters to set up a new powerline network in my house.
For example,
I have a router in my house, but there are not enough LAN ports for all my
wired devices. I don’t want complex and expensive cabling. People told me that I can
solve this problem with two powerline adapters.
Note: G.hn powerline devices are not compatible with Homeplug AV/AV2 powerline
devices.
How can I do that?
1
Connect one of the powerline adapters to an available LAN port of the router using
an Ethernet cable.
2
Plug the powerline adapter into a wall outlet.
3
Plug the other powerline adapter into a wall outlet on the same electrical circuit.
Wait until the Powerline LED turns solid green.
4
Connect your wired device, such as a computer or game console, to the powerline
adapter via an Ethernet cable.
